I am selling my 1979 Ford Bronco RangerXLT with intercooled 5.9l Cummins Turbo Diesel out of a 1993 D250. This truck is a beast and very fun to drive, The truck was originally equipped with a 351m which was removed and installed the Cummins. The diesel has about 128,000 miles on it which is nothing, these engines go 500,000 miles very easily, the turbo functions flawlessly as well as the engine it is very strong running and starts up within a split second. The transmission is a heavy duty c6/New Process 205 transfer case combo with Ford 9" differential. Adapter plate and custom flywheel, starter Purchased From destroked.com for 1800 dollars. If you are planning on doing this conversion yourself let me give you a rundown on what it will take. FIrst off you will need to find a clean 79 Bronco which is going to cost you upwards of 4,000$ for a Decent one then you will need to find a Cummins. The first gen was my choice due to the simplicity of the wiring(no computer involved) so find one from 89-93(92 and 93 being the intercooled version, which mine is) then you are looking at a minimum of 2,000 dollars for the engine(look at the prices on ebay for a used one) then shipping costs arent cheap. Once you have your engine you will need to put all new seals as well as fix the killer dowel pin which is a problem on the 12valves that needs to be adressed before it ruins your engine(if you dont know what it is google it.) You WIll then have to remove all the front grill radiator and everything to be able to slide the engine and tranny in. All the little engineering of motor mounts wiring getting everything put together is very time consuming and all the little parts here and there get very pricy. You need to have an exhaust made. You are looking at a big project which took me almost two months to complete. To have this done for you it will end up costing you over 15,000 dollars. This one is already done and ready to go. I am auctioning it of but I do have a reserve price so if the bidding doesnt get up high enough I will not sell myself short because I dont have to sell it and enjoy driving it. Also this Bronco has the Removable top with sliding side windows on the shell, New Tires and New American Racing rims and enigne has factory block heater so if you live in a really cold area you can plug it in overnight and it will be nice and toasty for you. Happy Bidding

Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?
Tue, 26 Aug 2014
Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.
What next for Alan Mulally?
Wed, 23 Apr 2014Alan Mulally has emerged as a hero when it comes to American manufacturing. He came to Ford in 2006 after serving as head of Boeing's commercial aircraft division, streamlined operations, sold off the costly elements of its Premier Automotive Group and saved Ford from having to be bailed out by the federal government like its cross-town rivals Chrysler and General Motors did. But as we reported mere days ago, he's widely expected to step down from the chief executive's office at Ford shortly.
So what's next for one of the most successful executives in the business? Hard to say, but don't expect Mulally to disappear into retirement. Though he didn't ultimately take the top job at Microsoft, industry insiders expect to see him in another influential position - likely as a board director or even chairman of another company. (We say "another company" and not Ford because while Bill Ford may have stepped aside as CEO to bring Mulally on board in the first place, we don't see him giving up his chairmanship of the board also.)
Mulally has likely already lined up his next move, and could either announce what that move will be as soon as Ford confirms Mark Fields as his successor, or could wait awhile. Insiders speculate that he could leverage his transportation and aerospace experience into a position at General Electric or a major airline, his manufacturing expertise to benefit a company like Procter & Gamble or his management skills at a consultancy firm.
Ford demonstrates Mustang's new Line Lock burnout feature
Tue, 22 Apr 2014Been saving your pennies for a 2015 Ford Mustang? Put in a few extra shifts or some overtime? Got a great down payment ready? Well, however much you saved for your new pony car, start saving more - you'll need the extra money to spend on tires.
That's because the Mustang will come with a system called Line Lock, which can lock the front brakes electronically, allowing drivers to perform big, dumb, smoky burnouts without moving so much as an inch. It's sort of like launch control, only the average driver might actually use it.
Now, line locks aren't uncommon, particularly in drag racing. Usually, a flip of the switch locks the front brakes. The Mustang, besides offering the system from the factory which is unique in and of itself, looks a bit more involved.
